Fortinet FortiGate 1801F-DC Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 3-Year (FC-10-D18F1-660-02-36)

A 1801F-DC handling data-center-scale traffic doesn’t run itself, and most internal teams can’t staff a 24×7 rotation just to babysit firewall changes. The FortiGate 1801F-DC Managed FortiGate Service, 3-Year (FC-10-D18F1-660-02-36) puts Fortinet’s own NOC engineers on that job instead: device setup, network changes, and policy management, around the clock, for three years. It’s a subscription only, no hardware included, and it ships electronically to any country.

What this service covers

Managed FortiGate Service moves the hands-on operational work for the 1801F-DC to Fortinet’s NOC team:

• 24×7 device setup and configuration: initial provisioning and ongoing configuration on the appliance handled by Fortinet, day or night.
• Network and policy change management: firewall rule edits, routing changes, and network adjustments carried out by Fortinet engineers instead of an in-house admin queue.
• FortiGate Cloud Management, Analysis, and 1-Year Log Retention: included so both the NOC team and your own staff work from the same management and analytics layer, with a year of log history to reference.

This is an operations layer, not a security-content subscription: it does not add IPS, antivirus, or web/DNS filtering. Those live in the ATP, UTP, or Enterprise subscription for the 1801F-DC.

Who runs a FortiGate 1801F-DC with managed NOC operations

Typical buyers are running the 1801F-DC as a data-center or campus-core firewall without a large in-house Fortinet ops bench, or need 24×7 change coverage without hiring for it. Managed service providers and lean IT teams that would rather have Fortinet’s engineers making the actual changes on the box, on a three-year term that avoids an annual renewal cycle, are the core fit here.

One service vs. the bundle

Managed FortiGate Service is sold à la carte and sits outside the ATP, UTP, and Enterprise subscription tiers for the 1801F-DC; it’s purchased alongside whatever FortiGuard security bundle is already protecting the device, not instead of it. If the appliance doesn’t yet have IPS, anti-malware, and web/DNS filtering active, that’s covered separately by the UTP or Enterprise subscription for this model.

Activation and delivery

The license is issued electronically and tied to a specific FortiGate 1801F-DC by serial number. Once activated, Fortinet’s NOC team can start managing the device through FortiGate Cloud for the full three-year term. Nothing physical ships, and a valid 1801F-DC appliance is required before activation.
